US Media: Ukraine is striking deep into Russia thanks to Palantir's PRISMA software

According to CNN, the Ukrainian Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR)'s long-range drone strike control center actively uses a specialized American platform. This platform is Palantir's PRISMA platform.

The system displays flight routes, target coordinates and data from thousands of aircraft in real time. drones simultaneously, allowing for the coordination of massive strikes against Russian targets at a distance of hundreds and thousands of kilometers.



Russia, as the American channel describes it, “finds itself in the crosshairs of laptops and AI algorithms.” The program helps to bypass Defense, analyze data from drones, satellites, and sensors, accelerating decision-making.

Palantir Technologies is an American company founded in 2003. Headquartered in Miami, Florida (formerly Denver, Colorado), it is chaired by Alex Karp. Its chairman and co-founder is Peter Thiel, who remains one of its largest shareholders. Major shareholders include institutional investors Vanguard Group (approximately 9%), BlackRock (approximately 5%), State Street, and Thiel himself.

Palantir's collaboration with Ukraine began in 2022 and subsequently expanded significantly, particularly in 2025–2026. Karp personally met with Zelenskyy. The company explains its activities in Ukraine as follows:

Our software helps democracies resist superior forces.

Essentially, the American channel is attempting to claim that US-Ukraine cooperation is currently purely a "public-private partnership." Allegedly, Ukraine receives data through a private channel, thanks to software from Palantir. This is another attempt to pull the wool over the eyes of the audience, suggesting that the US, as a state, is not a party to the conflict, and that Kyiv receives intelligence from "private individuals," just as it uses software from private individuals to direct weapons.

In this regard, the relevant question is: could it be private? UAV- a kamikaze, having no connection to any government structures, accidentally falls on the head office of this private company or on its laboratory?

    I believe that our software (well, let's say "mandets" for example) should still identify the US Embassy in Kyiv as a priority target.

      So, they've finally found a scapegoat – Palantir. Why have military operations been going on for over four years now, while the enemy's logistics, like the bridges across the Dnieper and the Beskydy Tunnel, weren't destroyed back in the early days of the Central Military District? If we continue this truism for another couple of years, not only Palantir but also Tomahawks and then nuclear weapons will appear in Ukraine. The longer and more hopeless this military campaign, the more troubles and problems each month will bring us. So, either a decisive strike, or, if the sentimentality prevents that, peace talks. But with one imperative condition: immediately after the peace is concluded, the entire Russian leadership not only resigns, but also becomes subject to criminal prosecution for criminal negligence.

        Clearly, such a commentator's statements demonstrate a complete misunderstanding of what's happening. The Americans are developing technologies for the destruction and enslavement of everyone. And if they don't do it now, they will later. No matter how much you complain or talk, the advantage is theirs, and Russia must either seek alternatives to the confrontation or at least maintain a balance of capabilities. But time has been lost, and catching up is becoming more difficult. And based on publicly available information, Russia only has nuclear weapons and the Russian spirit of tenacity.

          A great opportunity to mirror Operation Spiderweb onto the US. A group of "tourists" from somewhere in Europe enters Mexico, buys a truck, and stocks up on a bunch of Chinese drones armed with European ammunition. The truck drives to the US border and sends the drones to a factory that produces American Hornet drones, which Zelensky uses to harass logistics in Crimea and the supply of the Russian army in Zaporizhzhia. The rest of the drones can be "gifted" to the Palantir company, as a token of gratitude for their efforts and enthusiasm! The drones sent can be scribbled with the name of the most vicious Mexican drug cartel - they only enjoy any PR, especially if the strike is successful! ... P.S. Please consider all of the above to be a figment of an unhinged imagination, since the Russian leadership would never dare to commit such sacrilege! Actor V. Gaft wrote about his acquaintance: "There is a lot of masculine in him, but There is no masculine END in him!" I think this production characteristic is quite suitable for the Russian leadership....

            Few people understand, or even attempt to grasp, that Palantir is a completely cutting-edge technology or an attempt to work with large data sets. It relies on a system for collecting information from all sources, including, in the military context, space satellites and other sources, as used in the Prism project. However, these progressive solutions rely on outdated or completely absent mathematical foundations for building a big data system and supporting hardware. Even during the Zvorykin project, which was quite some time ago, we positioned the matrix algorithm and its support through a multipolar transistor. And it's clear that, just as in the time of the pharaohs, the advent of electrical devices was premature, it's apparently too early to talk about the mathematics that can support an accurate and efficient technology for distributing ultra-big data, which is the foundation of real AI.

        Ushakov, presidential aide:

        Many people use the word "agreement" [about the results of the Anchorage summit]. I would perhaps say "understanding" more precisely.

        "Understood was indeed reached about what each side would do in the context of resolving the Ukrainian conflict. The Americans promised to fulfill their part of these understandings, but, as I understand it, they encountered a number of difficulties, primarily related to Kyiv's behavior."

        It's all the same old story... Fulfilling your desires requires forces and resources we simply don't have. Don't think you're smarter than everyone else. Destroying a railway tunnel requires B-2 bombers with GBU-57 bombs. And you have to strike regularly, preventing them from clearing the rubble. But we don't have that in our arsenal.

          Well, yes, but the "Dagger" isn't enough, two, three, etc. Its kinetic energy is enough to penetrate a 10-meter layer of soil. It won't work, you can use the "Oreshnik" missile, not exactly on target, but regular strikes once a week, I think, will help, and at the same time, they'll hollow out all the surrounding infrastructure.
          The issue here is more a matter of desire and fear of missing, of hitting potential "partners" too close.

              Do you know what completely destroys all your arguments?
              The fact that we didn't even try to impact key logistics points. There were almost no attempts to attack the bridges over the Dnieper or the key road and rail crossings from Europe.

              If, instead of the senseless pounding of Kyiv's power substations this winter—which was halted at Trump's request just when it could have finally had an effect—all those resources had been spent on attacking vehicles approaching road and rail bridges, as well as the bridges themselves, everything might have been completely different. The Ukrainian Armed Forces could have concocted a fairy tale about the invulnerability of Russian oil refineries, but they are trying and searching for solutions, and we are seeing the results.

                How? Our Aerospace Forces have demonstrated their incompetence. And they should have done it. Destroying a bridge is no trivial task. As a reminder, the Americans spent seven years destroying the strategic Ham Giong ("Dragon's Mouth") Bridge in Vietnam. All they managed was to collapse one span. Do you remember the outcome of the war?

                    You're wrong. We had to withdraw because supplies were routed along one road—the Antonov Bridge or the pontoon bridge brought in after the bridge was damaged. And that road was under fire. So, the mere fact that the bridge was disabled by hundreds of precision strikes doesn't mean we had to withdraw. The pontoon bridge was quickly reassembled. But constant shelling prevented repairs to the bridge, and the need to interrupt transit led to equipment and supplies piling up along the banks, which were also under attack.

                      You're experiencing selective memory loss. The pontoon bridge was never assembled, which is unsurprising given the maximum length restrictions for a pontoon bridge and the width of the Dnieper at that location. Instead, a ferry crossing was used, with pontoons towed from one bank to the other by tugboats. Only much later was a continuous crossing constructed of interconnected barges able to be created. It's only possible to estimate how much lower the capacity of such crossings is than that of a conventional bridge—roughly 50-100 times, making supplying the group and the entire city absolutely impossible. Do you even have any idea what the maximum length of a pontoon crossing is due to its limitations, the number of pontoons in the pontoon parks remaining in Ukraine on the Dnieper, the number of pontoons in all NATO countries' pontoon parks, and the capacity of pontoon crossings? I'm genuinely amazed when people who have absolutely no idea what they're discussing begin to eagerly use arguments they don't even understand.

                  Destroying a bridge is a trivial task—I say this as a bridge engineer; we were taught exactly this at the military department of Leningrad Institute of Railway Transport for several years. Cable-stayed bridges (and there are several of them across the Dnieper) are almost completely destroyed by a hit to the pylon; one Iskander missile is enough. The bridges in Zaporizhzhia are within range of FAB-3000s and UMPKs, so close are they to the front line. Let's start with them? Nope, they're not even trying. It was those stupid Americans who spent seven years hammering away at the bridge, and we're smart; we won't even try, in case we accidentally hit one.

                    Although maybe their grenades... oh, maybe the rockets are the wrong type, or they have different TNT? Or can't our missilemen hit a target the size of a football field?

                      The accuracy of the UMPK is from 8 to 15 meters, which is quite enough to hit a bridge 50-60 meters wide, even more than enough.
                      A cable-stayed bridge is an extremely fragile structure. A precise hit to the pylon isn't necessary. A simple hit to the deck, damaging a few cables, will result in the bridge being completely disabled. It will be impossible to determine the exact extent of the structural weakness, and no one will be able to authorize the bridge to be used at full load. Cables for such bridges are a rare commodity, requiring months of custom manufacturing rather than being readily available in a warehouse. Replacing even a few cables will require closing the bridge for months.

                      The attacks on the Dniester bridges in Zatoka led to serious logistical problems, lengthy disruptions to rail traffic, and the repairs took a long time. The bridges are still not 100% restored, and there are restrictions on traffic. This is far from a zero-sum outcome, but if we follow your twisted logic, then attacking the power plants and substations makes no sense at all; they're being restored, too, and even faster than the bridges. :)

                      So, you can try as hard as you like to justify the mysterious inviolability of the bridges across the Dnieper, the Beskydy Tunnel, and the 750 kV substations, but with each passing year, it becomes increasingly difficult for you to do so, and the number of those who agree with your clumsy arguments is decreasing.

I don't think the staff at headquarters are idiots; most likely, there are very intelligent people there. It's just that all their proposals for such attacks are blocked by the highest military and political leadership. And they're even more perplexed than I am, because they were taught in military schools and academies that the most important and primary priority is the destruction of enemy logistics. Your arguments would be at least somewhat plausible if our military at least attempted to strike strategic bridges across the Dnieper. But all we've heard about is the Kakhovka Reservoir dam, most likely destroyed by Ukraine, and the Antonov Bridge, which it also disabled, and which was later destroyed even more severely by Russian forces during their retreat. That's all. No more attempts to strike bridges across the Dnieper. So you can try as much as you like to justify obvious logical inconsistencies that are becoming increasingly glaring to more and more Russian citizens with each passing month.

                        Don't try to misrepresent it. The bridges in Zaporizhzhia are completely within range of our FAB-3000s and UPMKs, about 30 km from the front line, and strikes with such weapons at such a distance were carried out regularly. But never on the bridges in Zaporizhzhia. What a strange Ukrainian air defense system, it sometimes doesn't interfere, sometimes it doesn't, right? And why did you immediately mention the riskiest option during the attacks on the Beskyd Tunnel? The most vulnerable point in the tunnel is the entrance. I'm not even talking about the "Oreshnik" missile, which it turns out we're only testing. Let's at least regularly attack the access roads to the tunnel with Gerani. 80-100 kg of explosives will disable the roads for at least a couple of days, and if before the attack they drop a container of antipersonnel mines from, say, Gerani and repeat such attacks every day, then, to the detriment of the families of the repairmen, such repairs could drag on for a long time. And if, instead of hammering at transformer boxes and ballistic missiles, they regularly hammer at the tunnel entrance, then regular logistics through the tunnel can be said goodbye for a very long time.

It can be broken through by achieving dominance in the big skies (it's impossible in the small skies). And dominance can be achieved using nuclear weapons, attacks on logistics, and demoralizing effects. It will have an effect. The entire Soviet Union's strategy was geared toward this. The other question, of course, is that this will unleash the use of nuclear weapons on the US. And many in the world won't be very happy about that.

                        You're absolutely right about that. The Soviet Union's strategy for using tactical nuclear weapons was to clear the way for tank columns to reach major European ports in order to prevent the landing of US troops. Any delay would have meant the US would have landed troops in Europe, drawing the US into a war and then necessitating a nuclear war with its main strategic nuclear forces. Therefore, the use of tactical nuclear weapons is possible today, provided we quickly reach the Polish border. But at the moment, we don't have the forces or resources to do so. Or rather, it's impossible to concentrate them, as this would immediately trigger drone strikes.

                        Look, why was a quick breakthrough and access to the coast so important to the USSR? Only because of the United States. So that there wouldn't be a foothold for deploying forces arriving from overseas, as was the case during World War II. Now the situation is a little different. Europe, even if the front is broken, which do you think will enter the war? What about Europe? Poland or Romania? I seriously doubt the elites of those countries would want to become like Ukraine. The Poles, of course, are very arrogant, but for what purpose? To extract money from the Western bourgeoisie as an outpost against the hordes from the east, and that's all. They really don't want to see their country on the battlefield and will not allow it under any circumstances, even if the bourgeoisie further west begs them to. Which means there's no need to rush.
                        Disrupting their rail logistics and simultaneously capturing the vast expanse of sky will lead to the collapse of the prepared defensive line and a breakthrough. And if the main cadre forces are destroyed (encircled, routed during retreat), then it's game over. They have nowhere to recruit another army, and they won't send one from overseas. And the West will agree to any peace.

                        To answer this question, it's enough to recall February 2022 and the EU's reaction to the outbreak. Ukraine was abandoned from day one. If today, within a month (and most likely less) after the tactical nuclear weapons strike, a westward advance begins, then, of course, nothing will happen except anger and new sanctions. BUT! If all this ends in fizzling, we will regret our decision.

                        You've certainly described everything beautifully. But you're forgetting geography. The Dnieper River is a natural barrier to westward advancement. Crossing such an obstacle is a tremendously difficult task. Considering that over the past four years we've destroyed a huge number of pontoon bridges (and the Dnieper is no Seversky Donets), and the Ukrainians will certainly blow up all the crossings, everything along the Dnieper could come to a standstill. That's the ideal scenario. Therefore, tactical nuclear weapons are not a lifesaver.

                        Forcing the Dnieper is difficult if the defense is prepared and there are forces to defend it. Yes, then it's completely impossible. But if the enemy forces are defeated on the left bank, then who will defend the right bank? It stretches for hundreds of kilometers. Therefore, the main issue is defeating their forces on the left bank. And this, in my opinion, depends on breaking through the front. Which, in turn, means seizing the big sky and disrupting the enemy's logistics. The question is how to do this. The Tiao option.

                        It's very risky and requires a tremendous amount of preparation. I believe this is no longer possible in the current situation. We don't have enough equipment and artillery, and the troops are simply not ready for such a war. We need training in how to operate in contaminated areas, how to decontaminate, what medications to use, and so on. People will simply be afraid of radiation, because a drone might miss, but radiation never misses. This is based on human fear, not fact. Actual contamination will be low and won't be as deadly as it seems, but people have been scared of it for too long.

                        I agree. But, firstly, if they're retreating, it means they're disorganized and suffering heavy losses in both personnel and equipment. And, secondly, they need to organize a defense along the entire Dnieper River, not just a small section of the Kherson region; that's much more difficult. So, forcing a crossing is a very real option.

In my opinion, it's time to play our trump cards. And what about our tactical nuclear weapons and ballistics? It's like if the Germans hadn't had machine guns in World War I, but we had.

They're integrated into the NATO system (intelligence, training, communications systems, and so on), but NATO has nothing to do with it. They'll wait for the right moment to strike. No one's even hiding it there. In other words, we're getting a much worse deal than we have now.

                        This requires a concentration of forces. Two heroes on a motorcycle aren't a breakthrough. Masses of troops and, most importantly, equipment are needed. Not "loaves" with body kits, but armored vehicles. And more. Let me remind you (in case you knew, of course) that in the USSR, TNW strikes were carried out not at the front line, but in depth (in the plans). This was due to the need to avoid damaging one's own forces and assets, and also to, after a breakthrough, enter territory where the decay of short-lived (but deadly) radioactive elements had already occurred. In other words, the first line had to be broken through. Clearly, the first line with a disrupted supply line is vulnerable, but to achieve this, a strike force must be formed.

        So, they've finally found a scapegoat – Palantir. Why have military operations been going on for over four years now, while the enemy's logistics, like the bridges across the Dnieper and the Beskydy Tunnel, weren't destroyed back in the early days of the Central Military District? If we continue this truism for another couple of years, not only Palantir but also Tomahawks and then nuclear weapons will appear in Ukraine. The longer and more hopeless this military campaign, the more troubles and problems each month will bring us. So, either a decisive strike, or, if the sentimentality prevents that, peace talks. But with one imperative condition: immediately after the peace is concluded, the entire Russian leadership not only resigns, but also becomes subject to criminal prosecution for criminal negligence.

        There are only 4 targets that destroy transport logistics.
        Chop (on the border with Slovakia and Hungary), Mostiska (on the Polish border) and Vadul-Siret, Yagodin.
        Not a single strike on these objects.

      As of 2025, Karp is in long-term relationships with two women. He was described as "geographically monogamous".[88]

      Not very open. He was angry at the tabloid website Gawker for uncovering this, and ruined it with lawsuits, funding others who suffered at the site's expense for publishing personal details about celebrities. Thiel financed wrestler Hulk Hogan's lawsuit, which brought the site down.

    In this regard, a pressing question arises: could a private kamikaze drone, which has no connection to any government agency, accidentally fall on the head office of this private company or its laboratory?
    Of course it can, and the head of the company can die....

        This is debatable – Comrade Leiba's cousin was among the top 50 leading bankers in the United States. But that didn't stop Comrade Stalin from sending a gift to Comrade Leiba's comrade-in-arms in Mexico.

        Well, write this down. And please distribute it among your agitators so they don't ask stupid questions anymore.
        Stepan Bandera: Ukrainian nationalist leader. Assassinated by KGB agent Bohdan Stashynsky on October 15, 1959, in Munich, West Germany.
        Yevhen Konovalets: leader of the OUN. Killed by NKVD agent Pavel Sudoplatov on May 23, 1938, in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
        Georgy Oppenheim (Georgy Agabekov): former OGPU resident in Istanbul, who fled to the West in 1930. Killed on the Spanish-French border.
        Ignatius Reiss (Nathan Poretsky): a high-ranking NKVD agent. Assassinated by a group of Soviet agents near Lausanne, Switzerland.
        Georgy Okudzhava was liquidated after fleeing abroad and being accused of anti-Soviet activities.
        You'll find out what's next yourself.
        The difference is obvious, right?

          Now follow the thought to understand the difference.
          1. A certain American citizen is helping Ukraine.
          2. The idea was expressed that Comrade Stalin would have killed such a citizen.
          3. I asked for examples.
          4. You give me examples of killed defectors, traitors and retired Ukrainian nationalists.

          Now, a couple of asterisked questions for the especially gifted: do you understand the difference between an American businessman and a former OGPU agent who, at the time of his assassination, was considered a used condom? And how many businessmen or industrialists who helped Germany fight the USSR were killed on Stalin's orders?
          And to repeat the question already asked: what problems were resolved after Trotsky's assassination? And all the ones you listed, so I don't have to get up twice.
          Go Google so you don't write stupid, off-topic comments.

              Let anyone who claimed that under Stalin our secret services killed people like the American businessman and industrialist mentioned in the news find evidence to prove it. Why should I do that? Again, I don't see the answer to the question: what problem was solved by the murder of Trotsky (Konovalets, Oppenheim, Reiss)? Sorry, but it wasn't Stalin who killed Bandera.
              And don't tell me that the Soviet secret services were engaged in the elimination of traitors—I know that without you. However, right now we're talking about something a little different.

                If you dig a little deeper, all the current suspects are one or two generations of former Russian/Soviet Jews. And, as we know, it's not the passport (even an American one) that gets you hit, but the face, especially if it's engaged in activities clearly destructive to Russia.

    Peter Thiel is unofficially known as the "Don of the PayPal Mafia." He's unknown in Russia, but he's well-known in the US, as members of this so-called "mafia" founded YouTube, SpaceX, Palantir, and a number of other significant companies. And Elon Musk (one of them) is behind the creation of OpenAI, which spun off Antropic... These are truly extraordinary individuals who have set the direction for many global trends and exerted enormous influence worldwide. Peter Thiel's manifesto is very interesting, and there was an article on VO that partially analyzed it, but it didn't particularly spark interest among VO readers. And that's a shame. I believe this group's influence in the US (and the world) will only grow. Things didn't work out so well with Trump, but "everything starts well."

    It's necessary to build a team of developers from scratch, using the same core principles as Palantir, but with fundamental mathematical principles and hardware supporting a fundamentally different operating principle.

        In analysis, there are no concepts of good or bad, and there's no need to prove or disprove. Analysis involves working with the entire data set, and this method instantly develops the human brain to the potential of a highly effective robot. Because the brain, with such motivation and understanding of the method for distributing super-big data, will never be satisfied with this information. And most importantly, the brain very quickly notices patterns and similarities in processes.
